- Master's degree with a relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed./M.Ed. preferred).
- Significant classroom experience plus years in coordination/leadership.
- Calm, confident judgement with students, parents, and staff.
- Clear writing for academic plans, reports, and parent communication.

- Real ownership of your subject/function from day one.
- A leadership team that listens, supports, and gives credit.

How long does it take to hear back after applying?
